A political compromise is the best way to end the crisis in the restive Sudanese region, Egyptian Minister of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Moufed Shehab was quoted as saying.
Egypt is keen on putting an end to the conflicts in Darfur in abid to reach comprehensive peace in Sudan, said Shehab.
Referring to the current dispute between Sudan and the International Criminal Court (ICC), Shehab stressed Egypt's stand in support of Sudan and its president.
Egypt is exerting all its political and diplomatic efforts to settle the crisis triggered by ICC chief prosecutor, added the Egyptian minister.
